pandahao Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Nothing with a similar setting comes to mind unfortunately =( Though there is an Utawarerumono 2 in the works. I can recommend other VNs with good gameplay, though I don't think that's quite what you were asking for. well i personally don't like gameplay at all in VN's because i like reading VN's to go full blown relaxation mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forythos Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 One of my friends got me back into a VN reading mood with our Little Busters! talk after he recently finished it. I hadn't been playing much in a while, but I'm juggling a few VNs that I wanted to finish. Namely, Rose Guns Days season 1 and Grisaia no Kajitsu (I never went back to it after finishing Sachi's, even if I meant to.) I was also planning to continue my game of Rewrite, but I'll probably wait until I at least finish Rose Guns Days. Might also re-install Umineko since I was already 3 chapters in when the HD it was on failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mevvrynne Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Finished Dengeki Stryker, and I have to admit it is pretty underrated. The characters are pretty good and the story is very enjoyable for what it was. Silvachief 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandahao Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 welp just finished utawarerumono and it was great though that single ending really makes me a sad panda. Any ideas if utawarerumono 2 gonna be with same characters or just same settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the looks of it, it's still in development. yeah, but I haven't really looked up any information so just wondering if they release bits and pieces of news for VN's. Also if anyone knows hows tears to tiara since its by Leaf also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mevvrynne Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 After playing finishing Steins;Gate (I liked it, can't say it was absolutely incredible because I saw the anime beforehand, can't give a first experience review towards it), I went to look at what other games were made by Overdrive (dengeki stryker), and I'm starting Kira☆Kira, even though I KNEW it was heavy towards music in the plot. Giving it a shot, if Iike it, I might try the fandisc and Deardrops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a cross-over VN being translated that I can't wait to read Just as a heads-up, I would advise playing their routes in a certain order. Kira Kira: All 3 original routes must be completed before you can play Kirari's True Route, and I would suggest at least finishing Kirari's normal route before deciding whether you like the VN or not. Deardrops: I would recommend playing Kanade's route first, then Yayoi/Rimu's routes (only if you like the characters - they're routes are much shorter and not as good as the others'), before finishing off with Riho's route, as her story is canon. OVERDRIVE also made Edelweiss, but I didn't really enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they're being taught to swear almost ALL THE TIME without knowing what the words even mean, it kinda hurts. Not only that, but how they portray these "punk rockers," and saying it's a GOOD thing to be like that practically, is just horrendous in my opinion.

Thankfully that passes pretty quickly, I'll admit it's pretty cringe-worthy. Every person i've recommended Kira Kira to has enjoyed it to varying degrees but i'll admit it's probably not to everyone's tastes. If it makes you feel any better, Deardrops has none of that.

zoom909 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I finally finished Estel Freesia's route on Brighter than Dawning Blue. It was somewhat more complicated/slower to read than the other routes. But it was the most poignant story of all the ones I played so far (Feena, Natsuki, Mai). They should have made an anime out of it. A movie, perhaps. In an anime, the story told in retrospect at the end would have been best presented as a prologue in chronological order--I can understand, of course, why that can't be done in the VN, because at the beginning of the VN you haven't chosen your route yet. In the meantime I finished Suzuka's route in Lamune. That finishes off the Main Circle of characters, you (Kenji), Nanami, Suzuka, and Hikari. I think I will save Tae for some other time, maybe when I get around to playing the PS2 version. It's interesting that your sister Suzuka changes so much depending on whether you choose her route or not (in Lamune your actions in childhood primarily determine your route). The other characters are pretty much the same. Right now I am on an omake where you actually play as Kenji's Dad. After this I'm thinking maybe Hoshizora no Memoria or Shuffle, I figure I should play these so I can keep up with the English readers.

Hoshizora is a lot of fun =) On another note, I finished Gadget Trial. It didn't have much of a story and the gameplay was pretty basic but I would still say I enjoyed it. Gonna go onto Kara no Shoujo next, though that probably won't be till after I finish exams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm gonna drop Sengoku, it's just not my thing,but i enjoy ever17, although not super hyped. The bad end left a sour taste though.

It's a good turn-based strategy game for people who like turn-based strategy. Of course the porn doesn't hurt either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Rance games are always fun. The porn part its not that important after all. Its way more funny the stupid stuff that Rance always says and does. Im playing Yumina The Ethereal now. Its quite a fun game. The SD character designs are cute and the animations are amusing to watch. Didnt expect much from the story, but its ok so far.

Okami Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I am reading Aoishiro right now and I will just say that it is really great VN to read. Expressly if you are a fan of action X cute Shujo-a romance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mevvrynne Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I thoroughly gave up on Kira Kira after finishing Kirari's good end. I dislike pretty much every single character except for Sarina, who's route I might read once I finish some of the other ones I want to play. That being said, I will now start playing Deardrops as the main character seems 100% better, and because of Riho <3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Finished the non-True routes of Ever17. Takeshi's route were kinda bland and had terrible endings, although they brought some important pieces to the puzzle and a few plot twists. (Well Tsugumi's essentially, because Sora's route doesn't bring anything Tsugumi's doesn't) Shounen's routes were much better. Especially Sara's which I just finished. Still, that true route better be worth it. Things are starting to make sense and I can kinda see where this is going, but there's still a lot to uncover and I expect to be proven wrong and mind-blowned.

AceAttorney Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Currently bouncing back and forth between Saya no Uta and Fate/Stay Night.

Well... it wasnt the least obvious to me. It was really hard to figure out, so you may be in for a big surprise as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
